I’m an author who loves exploring the magic of imagination—whether that’s in the heart of a friendly forest for my children’s books, or across distant galaxies in my upcoming sci-fi and fantasy tales. My children’s stories celebrate the joys of friendship,
“As long as songs have rung from Aros, they have been the songs of battle, and the songs of battle quicken the hearts of none more than the dragons.”

“Then you best make it a big one, healer.”
